Turkey Chili

From the River City Kitchen

Like most folks, we love to have a good soup at home in the winter. We also like to “clean up” our eating after the holidays. I created this turkey chili a couple of years ago, and it is still a family favorite.

I use Penzey Spices. We are big fans of their chili powder. For this recipe, I use one tablespoon of mild and one tablespoon of hot; you can adjust it to your family’s taste buds. I started using two cups of bone broth and one cup of low-sodium broth - like everyone else, adding protein where I can is a bonus. You can use whatever vegetables you have in your hydrator - bell peppers, celery or any other to substitute for the zucchini. Enjoy!
